Edelbrock heads have a very good valve stem seal. Does not mean that you did not get a bad one, not likely but possible. How long have the heads been on the car? When do you get the blue smoke? If it is only at WOT then it is the piston rings, If it only smokes on first start-up after sitting for a while then it is the valve stem seals. The seals could be bad because the valve guides are worn out. Again, how long on the car and were they new when you put them on?
